whom  I¨d  never  see  again。  But  I  wanted  to  leave  this  world�察 �shedding  it  like 
some tight´fitting garment that pinched。 
I opened my mouth and abruptly all was color just as in the pictures of Our 
Prophet¨s  Miraj  journey�察 �during  which  he  visited  Heaven。  Everything  was 
flooded in exquisite brightness as if generously painted with gold wash。 Painful 
tears  flowed  from  my  eyes。  A  strained  exhalation  passed  from  my  lungs 
through my mouth。 All was subsumed in wondrous silence。 
I could see now that my soul had left my body and that I was cupped in 
Azrael¨s hand。 My soul�察�the size of a bee�察�was bathed in light�察�and it shuddered 
as it left my body and continued to tremble like mercury in Azrael¨s palm。 My 
thoughts were not of this�察�however�察�but of the unfamiliar new world I¨d just 
been born into。

After so much suffering�察�a calm overcame me。 Death did not cause me the 
pain  I¨d  feared�察 �on  the  contrary�察 �I  relaxed�察 �quickly  realizing  that  my  present 
situation  was  a  permanent  one�察 �whereas  the  constraints  I¨d  felt  in  life  were 
only  temporary。  This  was  how  it  would  be  from  now  on�察 �for  century  upon 
century�察�until the end of the universe。 This neither upset nor gladdened me。 
Events I¨d once endured briskly and sequentially were now spread over infinite 
space  and  existed  simultaneously。  As  in  one  of  those  large  double´leaf 
paintings  wherein  a  witty  miniaturist  has  painted  a  number  of  unrelated 
things in each corner!many things were happening all at once。

I�察�SHEKURE 
 
It was snowing so hard that snowflakes occasionally passed right through my 
veil into my eyes。 I picked my way through the garden covered in rotting grass�察�
mud and broken branches�察�then quickened my pace once I¨d exited onto the 
street。 I know you¨re all wondering what I¨m thinking。 How much do I trust 
Black�拭�Let me be frank with you�察�then。 I myself don¨t know what to think。 You 
do understand�察�don¨t you�拭�I¨m confused。 This much�察�however�察�I do know�此�As 
always�察�I¨ll fall into the routine of meals�察�children�察�my father and errands�察�and 
before long my heart�察�without even having to be asked�察�will whisper the truth 
to  me  of  its  own  accord。  Tomorrow�察 �before  noon�察 �I¨ll  know  whom  I  am  to 
marry。 
I want to share something with you before I arrive home。 No� �e off it�察�
now�察�it¨s not about the size of that monstrosity Black showed me。 If you want 
we can talk about that later。 What I was going to discuss was Black¨s haste。 It¨s 
not that he seems to think only of satisfying his lust。 To be honest�察�it¨d make 
no difference if he did。 What surprises me is his stupidity� �I suppose it never 
crossed his mind that he could frighten and abduct me�察�play with my honor 
and put me off�察�or open the door to even more dangerous outes。 I can tell 
from  his  innocent  expression  how  much  he  loves  and  desires  me。  But  after 
waiting twelve years�察�why can¨t he play the game according to the rules and 
wait another twelve days�拭�
Do  you  know  I  have  the  sinking  feeling  I¨ve  fallen  in  love  with  his 
inpetence  and  his  melancholy  childlike  glances�拭 �At  a  time  when  it 
would¨ve been more appropriate to be irate with him�察�instead�察�I pitied him。 
^Oh�察�my poor child�察院�a voice inside me said�察 �you suffer such torment and are 
still  so  utterly  inpetent。 ̄  I  felt  so  protective  of  him  that  I  might¨ve  even 
made a mistake�察�I might¨ve actually given myself to that spoiled little boy。 
Thinking  of  my  unfortunate  children�察 �I  quickened  my  steps。  Just  then�察 �in 
the early darkness and blinding snow�察�I thought a phantom of a man would 
run right over me。 Ducking my head�察�I slipped by him。 
Upon  entering  through  the  courtyard  gate�察 �I  knew  that  Hayriye  and  the 
children  hadn¨t  yet  returned。  Very  well  then�察 �I¨d  e  back  in  time�察 �the 
evening prayers hadn¨t yet been called。 I climbed the stairs�察�the house smelled 
of orange jam。 My father was in his darkened room with the blue door�察�my 
feet were freezing。 I entered my room to the right beside the stairs holding a 
lamp�察�and when I saw that the cabi had been opened�察�that the cushions had 
195 
 
fallen  out  and  the  room  had  been  ransacked�察 �I  assumed  it  was  the  naughty 
work of Shevket and Orhan。 There was a silence in the house�察�not unusual�察�yet 
unlike  the  usual  silence。  I  donned  my  house  clothes  and  sat  alone  in  the 
darkness�察 �and  as  I  gave  myself  over  to  momentary  daydreaming�察 �my  mind 
registered a noise ing from below�察�directly below me�察�not from the kitchen 
but  from  the  large  room  next  to  the  stable�察 �used  in  summertime  as  the 
illustrating workshop。 Had my father gone down there�察�in this cold�拭�I didn¨t 
remember seeing the light of an oil lamp there�察�suddenly�察�I heard the squeak of 
the front door between the stone walkway and the courtyard�察�and afterward�察�
the cursed and ominous barking of the pesky dogs roaming past the courtyard 
gate!I was alarmed�察�to put it mildly。 
^Hayriye�察院�I shouted。 ^Shevket�察�Orhan´ ̄ 
I felt a cold draft。 My father¨s brazier must be burning�察�I ought to sit with 
him and warm up。 As I went to be with him�察�holding an oil lamp aloft�察�my 
thoughts weren¨t with Black any longer�察�but with the children。 
I crossed the wide hall diagonally�察�wondering if I should set water to boil on 
the downstairs brazier for the gray mullet soup。 I entered the room with the 
blue door。 Everything was in shambles。 Without thinking�察�I was about to say�察�
^What has my father done�拭院�
Then I saw him on the floor。 
I  screamed�察 �overe  with  horror。  Then  I  screamed  again。  Gazing  at  my 
father¨s body�察�I fell silent。 
Listen�察�I can tell by your tight´lipped and cold´blooded reaction that you¨ve 
known for some time what¨s happened in this room。 If not everything�察�then 
quite  a  lot。  What  you¨re  wondering  about  now  is  my  reaction  to  what  I¨ve 
seen�察 �what  I  feel。  As  readers  sometimes  do  when  studying  a  picture�察 �you¨re 
trying  to  discern  the  pain  of  the  hero  and  thinking  about  the  events  in  the 
story leading up to this agonizing moment。 And then�察�having considered my 
reaction�察 �you¨ll  take  pleasure  in  trying  to  imagine�察 �not  my  pain�察 �but  what 
you¨d feel in my place�察�had it been your father murdered like this。 I know this 
is what you¨re so craftily trying to do。 
Yes�察�I returned home in the evening to discover that someone had killed my 
father。  Yes�察 �I  tore  out  my  hair。  Yes�察 �as  I  would  do  in  my  childhood�察 �I  hugged 
him  with  all  my  might  and  smelled  his  skin。  Yes�察 �I  trembled  and  I  couldn¨t 
breathe。  Yes�察 �I  begged  Allah  to  raise  him  up  and  have  him  sit  silently  in  his 
corner among his books as he always did。 Get up�察�Father�察�get up�察�don¨t die。 His 
bloodied head was crushed。 More than the torn papers and books�察�more than 
196 
 
the breaking and tossing about of the end tables�察�paint sets and inkpots�察�more 
than the wild destruction of cushions�察�worktables and writing boards�察�and the 
ransacking of everything�察�more even than the anger that had killed my father�察�I 
feared the hatred that had destroyed the room and everything within it。 I was 
no  longer  crying。  A  couple  passed  down  the  street  outside�察 �laughing  and 
talking  in  the  blackness�察 �meanwhile�察 �I  could  hear  the  infinite  silence  of  the 
world in my mind�察�with my hands I wiped my running nose and the tears off 
my cheeks。 For a long long time I thought about the children and our lives。 
I  listened  to  the  silence。  I  ran�察 �I  grabbed  my  father  by  the  ankles  and 
dragged him into the hallway。 For whatever reason�察�he felt heavier out there�察�
but  without  paying  any  mind  to  this�察 �I  began  to  pull  him  down  the  stairs。 
Halfway down�察�my strength gave out and I sat on a step。 I was on the verge of 
tears again when I heard a noise that made me assume that Hayriye and the 
children had returned。 I grabbed my father by the ankles�察�and pressing them 
into  my  armpits�察 �I  continued  to  descend�察 �faster  this  time。  My  dear  father¨s 
head had been so crushed and was so soaked in blood that it made the sound 
of a wrung´out mop as it struck each step。 At the base of the stairs�察�I turned 
his body�察�which now seemed to have grown lighter�察�and with one great effort�察�
dragging  him  across  the  stone  floor�察 �I  took  him  into  the  summer  painting 
room。 In order to see within the pitch´black room�察�I hastened back out to the 
stove in the kitchen。 When I returned with a candle I saw how thoroughly the 
room where I¨d dragged my father had been pillaged。 I was dumbstruck。 
Who is it�察�my God�察�which one of them�拭�
My  mind  was  churning。  Closing  the  door  tightly�察 �I  left  my  father  in  the 
demolished room。 I grabbed a bucket from the kitchen�察�and filled it with water 
from the well。 I climbed the stairs�察�and by the light of an oil lamp�察�I quickly 
wiped away the blood in the hallway�察�on the staircase and everywhere else。 I 
went  back  upstairs  t
